I know more than a few friends who have gone through the hassle of buying gold from an overseas seller, and it took them almost 7 days just to get 10 pieces of gold, and it cost them over $60. I have even heard horror stories of gamers being suckered into buying gold from scammers, paying lots of money, and then never even getting anything in return.

There are various ways that you can speed up the process of collecting gold and a lot of MMORPG will actually buy their gold off Chinese Gold farmers who sell their gold that they have accumulated to other players.

Now this top secret Age of Conan Guide has been frowned upon by the Chinese farmers and gaming elite alike because it 'spills the beans' on how to dominate the gold scene. In fact people have resorted to hacking the website that hosts this secret guide in addition to employing click fraud with anyone associated with the guide so I don't know how long this guide is going to be available because there are some very pissed people who want this guide buried!

They might look like just a pile of rubble with mad overgrowth everywhere - otherwise, they wouldn't have called it "ruins", right? - but these forgotten remains of long lost empires are beautiful. Even at such a dilapidated state, these hallowed places look stunning.

To help facilitate the test, the beta testers have been given access to the Acheronian Ruins, but they can only use pre-made characters of a specific (and yet unnamed) class. They will also be given access to a limited amount of equipment and loot.

Hmm... Sound advice. The MMO genre is still relatively young but it already has a good number of titles. Let's hope that developers listen and go for quality instead of quantity so their games don't fall short of what gamers expect.
